Under The Boardwalk: Tuesday Intro/Teaser

First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros is a weekly meme hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea every Tuesday. To participate share the opening paragraph or two of a book you've decided to read based on that paragraph. Please feel free to join in, First Chapter~First Paragraph~Tuesday Intros.

"Exactly why are you looking so pleased with yourself?" "Me?" Lainey replied innocently. "I'm just enjoying listening to you." Stacy regarded her best friend dubiously. "I am" Lainey insisted. "Keep going. I'm all ears." Her own news could wait, since she really was keen to know more about the new man in Stacy's life. In fact, it was making her heart sing to see how happy Stacy was now, after all she'd been through. Divorce could be a ferociously sadistic beast with a terrier-like grip that didn't let go until it had stripped its victims of every last vestige of morale, self-esteem, sometimes even looks, before it was done.

The Truth About You by Susan Lewis

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

Paulita said...: I'm definitely suspicious that Lainy's news and Stacy's new man might accidentally intertwine. The book cover doesn't win me, though. The title is hard to read. Here's Mine; October 29, 2013 at 11:31 AM

Anonymous said...: I've never been divorced, but that last line definitely makes me understand. Would probably need to read more to see if I'd want to read this or not though.

Here's mine

Lizzy said...: Great teaser! I've seen how people who go through divorce (and kids who experience the divorce of parents) can be profoundly impacted.
